Our Operations

In Ireland, Vermilion’s operations are exclusively focused in the Corrib gas field.  We believe that natural gas is a key component of the energy mix in Ireland, as it is the most environmentally friendly fossil fuel and allows for a secure, reliable and cost-effective supply of energy and provides significant benefits to the Irish economy.

In addition to energy security, the Corrib gas field provides:

• Irish job creation and retention
• Irish taxation revenue
• Community investment programmes for local communities in Erris, County Mayo
• Limits subsea surface area development footprint, versus other energy source options
• May help to displace energy sources with higher CO₂ footprints, such as coal

Vermilion holds an 18.5% interest in Corrib, with CPPIB (Canada Pension Plan Investment Board) holding a 45% non-operated interest and Equinor holding a 36.5% non-operated interest. Vermilion has entered into an operating agreement with CPPIB and Statoil.
